Urban Life: I Just Want To Work Hard!

Chapter 228: Fate Mainline

On this evening, the guests of Huarun Hotel gathered together, and the hotel suspended all external operations to fully cooperate with the Mu family in preparing for the patriarch's birthday banquet.

Li Mubai did not attend immediately. He stayed at the presidential palace and only started getting dressed when the banquet was about halfway through. By the time he came out, Yun Xiaoyue, dressed in formal evening attire, was already sitting in the living room waiting for him.

"It's quite late to go. Isn't it impolite?" Yun Xiaoyue stood up and followed him towards the elevator, hesitating.

"It's just a formality, to congratulate Old Master Mu," Li Mubai replied dismissively. Besides, those people from the Mu family definitely don't welcome him.

However, as the host, he had to make a symbolic appearance.

But when he reached the elevator, he suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, down there, you might meet your former colleague from the hospital."

Yun Xiaoyue was taken aback, immediately understanding that he was referring to He Liang. Her expression froze for a moment.

Li Mubai noticed and said, "If you have concerns, it's not too late to back out now..."

"No need." Yun Xiaoyue blinked and regained her composure, calmly saying, "I promised you before that since I agreed to marry you, I won't have any inappropriate thoughts. You can rest assured."

Li Mubai smiled.

If Yun Xiaoyue really cared about He Liang and didn't want him to attend, he wouldn't force it, but he couldn't help but feel disappointed.

Because it would mean that Yun Xiaoyue still harbored some lingering feelings for He Liang.

But looking at her determined face and clear eyes, it was obvious that she had already let go of those emotions.

Furthermore, he knew the protagonist's character very well. Regardless of whether she wanted to or not, she would never do anything unusual during their marriage.

And somehow, he felt a strange sense of satisfaction in leading the female protagonist to demonstrate to the male protagonist. It was a perverse pleasure.

However, despite the satisfaction, Li Mubai didn't forget the main task of eliminating He Liang!

Taking advantage of the elevator going down, Li Mubai once again opened the virtual interface and browsed through the first fate mission.

As a seasoned writer from his past life, he naturally knew that besides the common mainlines of career and love, there were also ten hidden mainlines of fate.

Simply put, authors often divided the story into volumes based on the protagonist's development.

For example, the most conventional volume division on the street was the first volume, "Dragon in the Abyss," the second volume, "Dragon Emerging from the Abyss," and then the ninth volume, "Flying Dragon."

And each time they reached a new stage or a new map, they had to go through a major battle, such as killing opponents or completing small goals...

Of course, urban novels didn't have new maps to open, and it seemed that he himself didn't have any new stages to go through. The only meaningful thing was to kill He Liang so that the system could level up!

As for what would happen after leveling up, Li Mubai wasn't sure, but he hoped that the mall would offer more items. After all, the current item exchange felt so outdated and lacked a sense of freshness.

When it came to exchanging items, the previous system would give the item multiple times based on the level of the task. This time, there was no level, but how many times could he exchange?

While pondering, the system popped up a description very understandingly: "The qualification of the former protagonist has been revoked, and one exchange opportunity is given!"

Well, this is awkward.

One exchange opportunity is less generous than those orange-level tasks!
